With less than two weeks to go, it looks like West Virginia may be the one competitive race this year. Both the RGA and DGA are pumping money into the race.

Pretty similar to the overall partisan registration numbers (56-28 Democratic).

It also doesn't tell us much because Maloney's going to need to win at least a quarter of Democrats to win the election, so who knows if they're voting for him or not.

Back to 59-33 today.

If it stays that way, Tomblin would already get around 47% only from Democrats alone ... Wink

Are Tomblin and Maloney the only ones on the ballot?

There's a Mountain (aka Green) Party candidate, an independent, and a guy running on something called American Third Position.

Yes, a crazy, a dreamer and a NAZI.

Still about 58-34 today. 3 days of early voting remain. I'll post the final numbers on Monday.

More than 40.000 early votes are now in, Democrats remain ahead by 57% to 34%.

2 days are still remaining and final early turnout could be between 50.000 and 60.000

What turnout can we expect alltogether ? About 300.000-400.000 ?

What were the early vote totals last year?

PPP will be doing a final poll of WV this weekend.

I think a 56-43 Tomblin win looks realistic now.

Let's see what PPP says.

I was more interested in the totals, but that link gives them (~108,000), so I'm going to guess turnout will be between 300,000 and 350,000.

Based upon the reliable Meeker standard of "the-feeling-I-got-from-phonebanking-and-doorknocking-this-weekend" I think we'll be fine.

If Bill Maloney's WV ads are much different than along the lines of "Why wait until 2012; Let's send Obama a message now," he is missing the boat.  Properly marketed, in a state with the political climate of WV, that approach should have brought him to victory.

I'm going to say right now the race is a toss up, and really could go either way. There's been a huge absence of polling compared to NY-9.

PPP twitters that their upcoming poll will show a "competetive race" ...

Hard to imagine with these early voting numbers, but let's see. After all, the polls last year also heavily underestimated the Democrat in WV.

Doesn't WV have a heavy Dem registration edge, and if so, how can the registration numbers of those who voted mean very much unless the early vote is disproportionately Dem?  In a word, isn't WV packed with DINO's these days? Isn't it a bit like NY-09? Yes, I understand that the DINO effect might be more muted for state races as compared to federal ones.

All this for a one year term as governor.  Of course the winner will have a huge advantage for the 4 year term that is to be contested in Nov 2012.

Does anyone have a website for returns tomorrow night?
